If you have ever seen my instagram feed (@elenoreearth) well, then you know how obsessed I am with the Greenylicious Super Smoothie. This baby truly is a magical one and now I´m hoping to rub some of it´s green greatness onto all of you, pure hearted superheroes.

The Green smoothie have been my not-so-secret beauty/healthy/zippy energy-weapon for a long time. Even if it has changed costume details over the years depending on season and situation, the base always remained the same (gloriously green). It has been created using both hand blenders and powerful Vitamixers and the result is always bliss. By ”bliss” I mean the Woopedihooo-cellular-bounce-high-on-life sort of bliss. The GSS supercharges my own (and others) passion, vitality, playfulness and all kinds of hot´n healthy things every day. Did I mention it´s very addictive? Ok, I think you got that…

Fun & Fabulous Facts

Let´s get you in on all the goodies of the GSS (aka your new fave accessory). The Greenylicious Super Smoothie is smack-packed with dark leafy greens and if you have been hanging around in the veggie community lately you know that those darlings should be brought home. ASAP. Leafy greens are not only very yummie, they are also miracle workers giving you an extra hand in the health, energy and beauty department. And we all want that, right?

The wide spectrum of amino-acids (let me hear you say p-r-o-t-e-i-n), minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, chlorophyll and enzymes will give your fabulous body heaps of strength and happy cells. The cellular walls of the leafy greens however, has to be broken down for our body to assimilate all nutrients. That´s where the blending comes in. Sure, you could go ahead and chew 3 cups of fibrous greens every morning but I bet you don´t have the time it takes to chew long enough for the cellular walls of the plants to break down. So for us to be able to get the greatness of the vegetables, we need to bring forth our blenders (or juicers).

When living in this high-speed world where loads of toxins enter our body every day, it´s important with ongoing cleansing and alkalizing routines. When bringing the GSS into your everyday life you have come a long way in both of those departments. The Greenylicious Super Smoothie is not only filled with all nutrients (and alkaline properties) listed above, it´s also crazy loaded with fiber. Fiber collects the toxins and away they go. The result? A clean digestive tract, glowing skin, shining eyes and a satisfied full tummy (among others). You in? HELL´S YEAH!

Greenylicious Super Smoothie

This recipe makes approximately 2 servings (plus toppings and add-ins if you like). The GSS will last for about 2 days in the fridge (in a glass jar with lid on). Another alternative is to make a huge batch and freeze, then leave a jar to thaw in the evening and next morning you sprinkle some yummy stuff onto it and you´re good to go! Remember this: organic is awesome.

*Kale, Beet greens, sprouts, shoots, spinach, swiss chard, collard greens, parsley, dandelion, purslane, romaine, lettuce, argula (to name a few). It´s important to vary your choice of leafy greens. You want all kinds of different nutrients/benefits and it´s not a very good idea to stick to only spinach for 2 years. Just sayin.

NEWBIE? Great greens for getting used to the Greenylicious super smoothie are: spinach, mache, romaine and iceberg lettuce. Adding some ice cubes at the end will increase the yummyness, plus the cold will help you get used to the flavor.

I have A LOT to thank the Greenylicious Super Smoothie for and once you start blending away, you will too.

I would LOVE to hear all about your green adventures! Have you ever met the Green Smoothie, if so, which greens do you prefer?

Finally!!! You have been luring us along for so long now I feel as though I have already tasted it! I just bought a ginormous amount of buckwheat, so i will be off to making some tasty granola to put right on top. There is something so satisfying about eating your smoothie. Especially when its a GSS!!
MUCH Love!!!

It´s a real good question and with many different answers. What I have learned and stand by (based on my own and clients experiences) Mixing RAW fruits (not melon) and RAW vegetables makes it more all right then mixing them cooked (can even enhance the digestion rate of one another.) Also, the blending makes things easier for our sweet digestive system.

Hello Elenore, beautiful creations as usual! I have a somewhat unrelated question for you – I have been attempting to make the grissinis you created for Golubka, which so far has been a frustrating experience to say the least. I’ve unbaked them for literally 36 hours in my dehydrator, yet they won’t crisp up! Am I doing something wrong? Or are they supposed to be more chewy than crunchy?

Thank you so much for those lovely words! The Grissinis should be just a bit soft on the inside but certainly crisp on the outside..
It´s hard to say what could have gone wrong since I´m not there to see them but I do hope they are at least tasty!
Loads of good luck!

You are a Swedish wonder woman! I was filled with green inspiration and made this for me and my lover. He was a little hesitant but absolutely loved it and so did I. It was like summer freshness in my mouth. I’m from Australia but am now living in Sweden and I think this amazing concoction might just get me through another Swedish Winter. From now on Earthsprout is very close to my heart. Tack så mycket! x

Sweet sweet darling, Alyx! YOU are a Swedish wonder woman too for sure! I am beyond blissed out over the fact that both you and your man loved the GSS.
We sure do need those doses of green sunshine to get through the winter. All will be well and Greenylicious!
Thank you so much for spreading your fairy love here! So blessed to have you visiting!

Such a wonderful post!
I’ve just started edging my way into the vegan world, starting with a green smoothie everyday.
Your extensive list of greens has given me a new use for the silver beet, beet greens and dandelion that are growing in my garden at the moment.
Thank you for your beautiful blog, forever inspiring me to live a happier, healthier and tastier life!

so I have to share a moment with you.. my husband and 19 month old son just sat together on the couch with a big glass jar of GSS and 2 straws and sipped the WHOLE thing down together. Then my son son licked his lips and said yumMY. Such a moment. I am so in love right now and you just made my month xxxx :)

YES. I was wondering what to do with the explosion of lettuces in my garden! I made it with strawberries, basil and mint and it was incredible. Just what I needed to boost me the morning after a party! You are quite the inspiration, many thanks.

Elenore,

Thank you for being an inspiration to us health-minded folk ;) I just read your greenylicious creation and I can’t wait to try it! The only thing though is that I can’t stand the taste nor smell of banana (even more so now that im pregnant! I can detect the smell and taste without fail). I drink a Thai coconut daily for the potassium and was wondering if that would be a suitable replacement? Perhaps with the coconut flesh as a thickening agent like the banana flesh? Any other suggestions?
Thank you gorgeous lady for empowering! I’m so grateful your site found me.

Sometimes I just cant stand banana in a green smoothie either. Then I just skip it and add more avocado for the same creaminess (or other fruit but then it wont be that creamy..). So go ahead and try the coconut meat! Great idea! <3 Much much love!

Dear Eleonore!

First of all: your blog is absolutely beautiful and so are you :)
second: up to now i never liked green smoothies- although i really wanted to drink them because i know that they are sooo good for me-.. this absolutely changed with trying you gorgeous recipe- i love it- i really tastes good- i think it´s the freshness of the Lemon and the ginger. so thank you for sharing!

Hi Elenore. I am drinking my very first GGS this morning (being a very big fan of your GJJ, I’m taking the plunge into smoothies) and was wondering whether you’re supposed to include the whole peel of the 1/4 lemon. I used a microplane to get the zest but wasn’t sure if there were more benefits to using the whole peel…I was worried that my mediocre blender wouldn’t chop it up, or if it would make the smoothie taste too bitter.

You know, whatever floats your boat (or works well in your blender) is just perfect. There are major benefits from using the whole peel but it that’s tough on your blender and you end up with chunks it might not be super tasty.. ;)

After months of procrastinating, I finally whizzed up my first greenylicious smoothie this morning – yum! So satisfying and I felt great all day knowing I had given myself such a wonderful start to the day. I don’t use stevia so substituted with 2 fresh dates – highly recommend! Thank you for starting me on my plant-loving journey xx

oh my goddess! I have been drinking the GSS for a while now so don’t know why it took me so long to tell you that it is ahhh-mazing! I can feel the life force running through me when I drink it and I feel like a supercharge super woman. Thanks for this incredible creation- it is my go to when I need to feel wildly uplifted! Love and light <3 Sarah
